2017 Dmax

🍅 Stock intercooler
🍅 Stock airbox
🍅 Stock injectors
🍅 Waste gated turbo
🍅 3" Exhaust turbo back

🍅 No Smoke at all
🍅 Hard on boost by 1800 RPM

🍅 Custom tuned by ecuchips
🍅 With + 30 Injectors, this would make 230Kw (308Hp) at the wheels easily enough.
🍅 With some more tuning, and a little haze from the exhaust, 260Kw (350Hp) at the wheels is easily attainable.

Pretty nice gain from this PX3 Ranger.

🍅 And sitting on 35 inch tires its made 145kw and 620Nm. The DPF is fully intact

🍅 The boost is a little high, maybe 1.5PSI, but the customer will clean the intake manifold this week, after which we expect the boost pressure to drop by at least 2PSI

🍅 Oil was quite black and a bit overfull, so we changed it before the dyno testing.

🍅 The trans tuning is quite difficult with such big tires, but after the first couple of hours of driving, the trans has done some learning and is now shifting spot on.
🍅 All the slip has gone now. It just shifts gear and drives forward, then does it all again, and again....With the big tires, the slip was very bad when it came in.....

🍅 We where expecting to make some minor adjustments to the trans over the next few days, so lets see if that's required, but it is part of the service at no extra cost

🍅 Not a bad gain from this PX3 Ranger. It had a new engine a few months ago but the injectors are old....230K old and #4 is way out of spec....

🍅 Look at the Kw gains (Red Lines) and torque gains (Blue Lines)....These are significant power gains....

🍅 New set going in on Monday and we will make a new dyno run then.

🍅 The dyno sniffs out any problems with a vehicle. As soon as we saw 106Kw from a PX3 Ranger 3.2L, Its immediately obvious something is not right here...

🍅 Beats me how people with no dyno call themselves tuners.....All they do is software swap and hope....

Next gen V6 Amarok/Ranger making some good power...

🍎 25kw gain through a good portion of the driving range

🍎 100-125Nm gain from 2-3000 rpm, Right in the sweet spot.

🍎 Its grunty to drive, a Very nice surge of torque. Still more work to do but so far its looking good.

⛽ The fuel economy will be improved as well. More torque for the same job results in less fuel consumption.

K200 Kenworth — uprated properly using genuine Cummins software.

🍎 Power safely increased from 550Hp to 600Hp, and torque from 1850Nm to 2050Nm, using a genuine Cummins calibration.

Before doing anything, we checked the CPL (Critical Parts List) and confirmed the engine hardware is actually rated for 600Hp.

🍎 We also checked the transmission. This truck has a 2000Nm-rated gearbox, so it can handle the extra torque.

🍎 Sounds obvious, but apparently it isn’t...

Over the last few months, I’d say at least 50% of the Kenworth and Freightliner trucks we’ve worked on have been fix-ups from flash tuners who really shouldn’t have been anywhere near them.

We have seen some crazy stuff:

🍈 ECUs opened up and soldered to when they can be programmed perfectly through the diagnostic port.
🍈 All the factory features and parameters wiped out — and no, that isn’t always a five-minute fix.
🍈 Trucks surging, down on power and generally running terribly.
🍈 One Freightliner ECU butchered badly enough that it had to be replaced.
🍈 Check lights permanently stuck on and impossible to clear.
🍈 ECUs resealed so poorly that water has got inside them.
🍈 One K200 had been around 200Hp down for months before it came to us. There was so much wrong with the calibration I’m amazed the truck was still working. We fixed it properly.
🍈 Factory 600Hp trucks deleted and somehow left configured at 550Hp.
🍈 Trucks being tuned despite having major mechanical problems — ECUs full of oil, faulty Jake solenoids, leaking injector harnesses, unhealthy turbos... you name it.

It really is the Wild West out there.

And my favourite...

🍈 We recently fixed a K200 that had been set to 650Hp and 2200Nm while still running an RTLO18918B 1800Nm gearbox......You can’t make this stuff up.

🌐 Here’s a pretty simple rule: if the guy tuning your truck needs the internet connected to do the job, ask yourself why 🌐

When we are working with these Cummins and Detroit systems properly, the calibration work is done here, with factory software. We aren’t waiting for somebody overseas to email a file back.

Your truck. Our software. Our work.

2025 Next-Gen Ranger 2.0L Bi-Turbo — Custom Dyno Tune

⛽ Peak figures went from 135.5 kW / 489 Nm to 146 kW / 585 Nm.

⛽ But the important part is what happened through the rev range.

At 2000 rpm it gained around 27 kW.
At 3000 rpm it was still around 18 kW stronger.
And it picked up almost 100 Nm of torque through the main driving range.

⛽ That’s the sort of gain you actually feel on the road.

⛽ When you drive it, it really does feel like you’ve got that extra 80–90 Nm everywhere, and the transmission does a really good job of keeping the engine right in that stronger part of the power curve.

⛽ Put another 90 Nm into a 3.2L PX Ranger and yes, it’s noticeably better...........But this feels more like we’ve added 150 Nm to a 3.2L Ranger. The difference in the way it gets down the road is much bigger than the peak dyno figures suggest.

⛽ And as always, this wasn’t a generic file flashed in the driveway.

⛽ It was run on our dyno, logged, tuned and tested here until we were happy with the result.

+27 kW at 2000 rpm
+18 kW at 3000 rpm
Almost +100 Nm torque
146 kW / 585 Nm peak

⛽ That’s a proper usable gain. Fuel figures coming, but we are expecting a significant drop in consumption ⛽

Another PX3 Ranger 3.2 done properly on the dyno 👌

This one came in making 114.4kW and 470Nm at the wheels.

After tuning:

🔥 150.1kW
🔥 655Nm

But the peak numbers only tell part of the story.

At 2000rpm it has gained roughly 180Nm of torque. That’s the sort of gain you actually feel when you put your foot down — towing, overtaking or pulling up a hill.....And look at the other end of the graph...

At 4000rpm it’s still making around 125kW, compared with only about 70kW standard.....That’s roughly 55kW more power at 4000rpm.

That’s a huge difference because we haven't just made a big lump of torque down low and called it a day. This thing keeps making power right through the rev range.

This is exactly why we use a dyno.

We can see what the vehicle is doing before we touch it, make changes, run it again, log it and keep working until the whole curve is where we want it.

Anyone can quote a peak number. The shape of the graph is what makes a vehicle drive properly.

No guessing. No flashing a file in the driveway and telling you what it should make.

Your vehicle. Your tune. Tested on our dyno.

Detroit/Mercedes powered 11 litre Fuso Sh**un has just had a tune up.

Nice trucks. The engines are so smooth its difficult to believe they are 11 litres...

We have factory software for these models and can diagnose and program all the modules in the truck.
